"I am about to become a senior at KF and as the years have passed, there have been more and more fights going on. At this point, it is absolutely ridiculous. I couldn't even eat lunch in peace because of all of the food fights going on by the last week of school. It is starting to become a regular procedure for all of the students to be dismissed by floors instead of all at once out of the fear that another fight might break out. Don't get me wrong, the majority of the teachers here are awesome and extremely dedicated to their students. Some examples would be Dr. LaFave, Mrs. Sun and many more. The AP and Dual Credit programs and exceptional and the assistant principals and really trying to control the wilder part of the student body. When it comes to this school it's not the teachers that are a major problem, it's those certain students that don't find any satisfaction sitting in a classroom but instead find that feeling in the streets."

"I attended this school from 1993 through 1997. I felt compelled to write a review so as readers can get a sense of what a graduate 15 years removed thinks of KF. The most disappointing I recall was that my career counselor, while very friendly during my four years, did not encourage me to challenge myself when it came to applying for colleges. When I told her that I only applied to USC and UT-Austin (I got into both), she was shocked that I did not apply to a lower caliber school and began pushing me towards UH, UH-Downtown or HCC. Perhaps she knew that the school did not adequately prepare me to succeed. College and law school were a challenge, and I would not confuse KF with a college prep school. I would not credit any success I've had since graduation to my education at KF. It did, however, have a variety of extra-curriculars, and placed an emphasis on athletics. I remember that many of us had dedicated teachers who seemed genuinely interested in our learning. However, that said, I think KF did an acceptable job of educating its students to simply meet the Texas high school recommended program and push its graduates out the door. I would not send my children here."

"I am so glad that I placed my daughter in this school. She just finished her Freshman Year and she excelled in her academics and thrived as a Sports Trainer. She loves and respects her peers and teachers. I know that the past history of the school but I truly give all praises to the New Principle and her staff and it truly is sorring like EAGLES! I look forward to the next three years."

"Klein Forest leadership lacks the ability to make KF into a school that suceeds. It has an abundance of incompetence and it's really hard to find individuals who truly care about the welfare of the students and their academic success."
